The NYC Labor Movement stands with the workers at NBC News. NYC is a union town and this egregious act of union-busting and disrespect toward our siblings will not stand. #1u

At the table today, NBC News doubled down on their illegal layoffs, refusing to bargain over the decision to unjustly terminate our members. But, we showed up strong to say: no contract, no layoffs. Tell management we deserve a fair contract NOW: bit.ly/3EditpD

Production Assistants are the backbone of NBC News NOW, but many of us struggle to afford basic necessities like food, rent, and transportation. We’re issuing a clear demand to NBC News management today: pay us a fair wage NOW! (1/3)

Could you survive on the salary of an NBC News PA? Here’s what our monthly budgets look like — no savings, no security. We’re barely scraping by, paycheck to paycheck, one financial surprise away from catastrophe. Tell NBC News to pay us fairly and agree to a FAIR CONTRACT NOW:

PAs are the backbone of NBC News NOW and they deserve to be paid fairly for the work they do. Instead, they're living in financial instability. NBC News management needs to agree to a fair contract with livable wages. Send a letter here if you agree: bit.ly/3EditpD

Managers at NBC News continue to walk all over their workers' rights — quickly removing and discarding union literature from individual members' desks, where posters and literature have long been allowed. Yet another federal labor violation by Cesar Conde.

A few weeks ago, I was informed I was being laid off from NBC News. I’d been on bereavement and medical leave, so it was a bit of a shock. After taking some time to reset, I am now open/looking for work both in and outside of journalism. Get in touch at [email protected].

Incredibly proud of NBC Guild and our members for this relentless contract fight! From flyering corporate events to putting up projections on 30 Rock to staging a one-day walk out, we showed NBC News the will of their workers to build a better newsroom could not be ignored ✊

After an overwhelming 94% ratification vote, we have secured the first union contract for the digital newsrooms of NBC News, @NBCNewsNOW, and TODAY. We are proud of the work that we do, and we're excited to continue that work with the protections of a strong first contract.
